No free option, status page or security contact was found, and the plugin's tool definitions weren't readable.\n\n**Orchid.** Orchid is a paid executive assistant over iMessage, SMS and Telegram that holds drafts and calendar holds until the owner approves, with a public status page and a named subprocessor list. No outside agent can call it, there's no free tier, and its privacy policy allows training a personal model while its blog says it never trains.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Boski\n\n1. Use the Boski plugin only to read the owner's saved preferences and constraints. It can't save changes.\n2. Ask the owner to finish Boski's onboarding interview if the plugin says it's incomplete, then retry.\n\n### Orchid\n\n1. Don't plan to call Orchid from another agent. It answers only the owner's iMessage, SMS and Telegram threads.\n2. Check status.orchid.ai before telling the owner Orchid is down. The 7 August incident moved it to a new number.\n3. Tell the owner that drafts and holds wait for their approval unless they widen it.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Boski or Orchid?\n\nBoski scores 26.2 (F) on agent readiness against Orchid's 20.2 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
